Why experiment rhymes the way it does
Pull experiment apart phonetically and you get a four-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 12,992, and consonance 15. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Experiment is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
